Accessibility Layer Added to Campus Map

August 21 was National Senior Citizens Day

August 26 is Women's Equality Day

The campus map now includes an important ADA feature, an accessibility layer, that identifies the locations of elevators and power doors for campus buildings. This project involved a collaboration among the ADA Coordinator, IT, Disability Resource Center, and Spring 2022 IGE 1020H class and supports accessibility and inclusivity for all.

In 1988, President Reagan proclaimed this holiday to raise awareness about issues that affect senior citizens and their quality of life. With improved health care and more years of productivity, older people are reinforcing their roles as community leaders, and many older people are embarking on second careers!

Each year on August 26th, we celebrate Women’s Equality Day. The day commemorates American women first gaining the right to vote in 1920. The date was proclaimed Women’s Equality Day by Congress in 1973. To celebrate, learn more about CPP's Womxn’s Resource Center and support the center!
